2016 Annual Catholic Appeal
“Blessed are the Merciful
for They Shall Obtain Mercy”
In celebration of the Holy Father’s acclamation of the Holy
Year of Mercy, we are called to “rediscover and make fruitful
the mercy of God with which all of us are called to give
consolation to every man and woman of our time”. The 2016
Annual Catholic Appeal, with its theme, Blessed are the
Merciful for They Shall Obtain Mercy, reminds us that we are
given the opportunity to proclaim the Good News of Jesus
Christ through our actions, touching people’s lives and
offering hope.
Thank you to everyone who made a pledge to the Diocesan
Annual Catholic Appeal over the last two weekends. The gifts
and pledges we have received to date are as follows:
2016 Goal
$121,000
Amount Pledged/Given
– 68,483
Still Needed
$ 52,517
If you have not yet participated, please consider doing so
today. Your gift makes a real difference in the lives of
thousands of individuals and families who reside within our
12-county Diocese. Pledge envelopes are available in the
pews and at the entrance of Church, and can be placed in the
offertory basket.

A Vocation Reflection
Fifth Sunday of Easter
St. John tells us in the Book of Revelation that he heard a loud
voice from God’s throne saying “Behold, God’s dwelling is with
the human race.” All of us are called to be signs of God’s
dwelling with us. Some are called to do that in a specific way,
serving Christ and His Church as a priest, a deacon, a religious
sister or a religious brother. If you think God is calling you to a
religious vocation, and if you’re ready to talk about it, please
call or write Father Norman Carroll, Diocesan Director of
Priestly and Religious Vocations at (302) 573-3113 or
[email protected].
Be sure to visit our website,

A reminder from Catholic Cemeteries,
Diocese of Wilmington
The Church teaches that the dying must be given attention and
care to help them live their last moments with dignity and
peace. The prayers of their relatives and friends help them
prepare to meet God. Once a person has died, their body
must be treated with respect and charity, in faith and hope of
the Resurrection. The burial of the dead is a corporal work of
mercy. Prayer for the dying and dead is a spiritual work of
mercy. Preparing for our death and funeral are gifts we give to
those we leave behind. The experienced family service staff at
our diocesan Catholic cemeteries, Cathedral and All Saints in
New Castle County and Gate of Heaven in Sussex County,
can provide you with the practical advice you need. For more
information, visit the website at www.cathcemde.com, or call
the cemetery office, (302) 656-3323.

V DOMINGO DE PASCUA
LECTURAS DE ESTE DOMINGO.
I Lectura Hechos 14:21-27
Salmo Responsorial 145 “Bendesiré tu
nombre por siempre jamás. Dios mío, mi
Rey”.
II Lectura Apocalipsis 21:1-5
Evangelio Juan13::31-33,34-35
Este Evangelio es una continuacion de los
discursos de despedida, después de que
Judas ha salido y luesgo de que Jesús lava
los pies de los discipulos. Hay tres
importantes asuntos que serán tratados
más tarde: La glorificacion de Jesús, , su
imnminente partida y el mandato del amor.
Estos tres asuntos están conectados entre
sí. La Pasion y muerte del mesías es la hora
de las tinieblas, pero jesús la coloca como
la hora de la gloria, de la resplandeciente
glorificación mutua entre Padre e Hijo.
Jesús busca solo la gloria de Dios. Dios ya
lo ha glorificado “dandole toda autoridad”,
confiándole llevar a cabo su obra dándoles
señales bellas y grandes. Pero lo volverá a
glorificar en la cruz, pues dará su salvacion
a los que lo miren. A su vez el Hiijo del
hombreglorifica a Dios con su fidelidad al
mandamiento recibido, llevando todo a
cumplimiento y no dejando que nada se
pierda. Esta es la gloria de Dios, la
salvacion del hombre.
Preguntas de la semana
¿ Cuando tú has sentido o vivido el
poder del amor de Dios en una mala
situación? Dios?

maravillas que el hace en ti y tu familia,

bendiciones.
